BRIDGEPORT — A medic was assaulted and a police officer threatened following a bar fight early Sunday, the city’s public safety spokesman said.

A patrol officer was flagged down at 1:25 a.m. Sunday and asked to go to the El Conquistador Sports Bar on Crescent Avenue, Kevin Coughlin said.

Three men drinking alcohol outside the bar refused to put the drinks down and “then became verbally combative and began to encroach upon the officer,’’ he said.

“Once an additional police officer arrived on scene the three suspects were separated.’’

One suspect, Christian Hernandez, 22, of Williams Street “attacked one of the police officers while he was handcuffing another suspect,’’ the spokesman said, attempting to strike him with a closed fist.

When the suspect was transported to St. Vincent’s Hospital, he assaulted an EMT, Coughlin said.

Hernandez was charged with possession and consumption of alcohol in public, trespassing, breach of peace, interfering with police, attempted assault of a public safety officer and assault on an EMT.
